Advanced Features

The Advanced tab grants you quick access to an array of advanced tools, among them the Memcached distributed memory caching system and the Varnish Cache web accelerator, which will help you optimize your sites and applications without having to log out of the hosting Control Panel. Depending on the hosting plan, these features are either included by default or are offered in the form of easy-to-get upgrades. InnoDB and NodeJS support is offered too.

Varnish

Varnish Cache is a web application accelerator also famous as an HTTP accelerator. You can install it in front of any server that speaks the HTTP protocol and configure it to cache the contents. Varnish Cache is very, very fast and will increase your website's speed. One of the main features of Varnish Cache is the flexibility of its principal configuration mechanism, VCL, which allows you to define how incoming requests should be dealt with.

Memcached

Memcached is a general-purpose memory caching system for increasing the speed of dynamic database-driven websites. It is used to lower the number of times an external data source (such as a DB or API) is read by caching data and objects in RAM. The Memcached distributed memory object caching system uses a client'server architecture. The Memcached distributed memory caching system is used by some of the most frequently visited web sites on the World Wide Web and is supported by popular web applications like Joomla and WordPress.

Node.js

Node.js is a software system for building scalable network apps. Built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime, Node.js uses an event-based, asynchronous input/output model that makes it lightweight and efficient, great for real-time content-intensive network apps. Node.js uses Google's V8 JavaScript engine, libUV, and a number of built-in libraries.

InnoDB

InnoDB is the default storage engine for the MySQL open-source DBMS. A storage engine is the underlying software component that a database management system uses to create, retrieve, update and delete data from a database. Its latest edition features significant improvements in performance, stability and usability. InnoDB offers the standard ACID-compliant database transaction attributes, along with foreign key support. InnoDB is included by default in most binary distributions from MySQL AB.
